Credit Reset Disputes - 5/24/2011

Good afternoon,
We have executed a round of Credit Resets for accounts which have habitually exhibited idling or "AFK" behavior while playing in Firefight Matchmaking. If you believe your ban was a false positive, you can post a request for investigation.
[b]Only request an investigation if you are absolutely sure that your ban was a false positive, if we take the time to investigate your account and find that you do have idling or "AFK" behavior, we will place an extended Credit Ban on your account.[/b]
Do not use this thread for any other discussion. If you are not requesting an investigation of your Credit Reset from 5/24/2011, do not post in this thread.
Thank you for your cooperation.

Hi' I would like an investigation on my gamertag "samuraipro55" please. I am just really confused because I don't think I have ever AFKed. My style of playing firefight is more of standing back and shooting from a distance so I can build up my Perfectionist commendation. Does AFK mean "away from computer"? Because if it does I know for a fact I never leave the room with my xbox running with a game of firefight. I also never recall a single game where I haven't earned any kills. I'm not afraid of the extended ban for people who request an investigation because I know i've done nothing wrong. People have important things come up in the middle of games sometimes, and that isn't worth a rank reset. Thank you.

So far we have issues extended credit bans for several dozen accounts, we are continuing to look for false positives but so far no one has been reset and banned without sufficient cause.
It's clear that even players who know they're deserving of this ban are going to request an investigation, which could end up delaying the investigation of a player who is honestly unaware of why they were reset and banned.
I ask that you please remain patient while we continue to review disputes and we will notify players individually if we require any additional information from them. This thread will be locked so we can focus our efforts on investigation, we may open it again if our investigation indicates a necessity to do so.[/quote]
Yes, Jerimiah, I have never AFK'D. Please investigate my account. I was wrongly banned.

And then you wonder why people prefer Black Ops over Reach.
[b] I always thought it was because of Armor Lock.[/b]
Nice work Jeremiah, keep reseting players just because they played the way they wanted for a couple games.
[b]A persons way of playing a game is not playing? That makes sense.[/b][/quote][/quote]
Yes, it does make sense. If I want to boost in BO and not play, I can. That's a way of ranking up, and Treyarch permits it.
But welcome to Reach, where 30 minutes without you playing worth more than your 80+ days Forerunner rank.[/quote]Black Ops/Treyarch does not permit boosting. It gives people a choice to report boosters and offensive tags/emblems for a reason...[/quote]
Yes. The community reports these players and THEN they get banned.
Bungie resets them and that's it. You're screwed. "Have fun ranking up to Legend again, b*tch."

Nothing but Matchmaking for a week, never afking. A lot of living dead though (going for zombie player classifications on HC) Being a zombie you dont just rush, rush, rush. You take your time, wait for them to pass by and be strategic. So you dont give them 50 kills. Waiting around a corner for a human to pass by is not afking lol.

Hello. I know for a fact that I have not idled in firefight, or for that matter even played firefight since 5/20/11. I was just on my computer when noticed on my tv that I have been banned from earning credits for 2 weeks. Upon further investigation I noticed that my creditsH have been reset as well. This has never happened to me before, but I have to admit, i have idled in the past, which got me banned for 24 hours. But, I have not idled repeatedly in firefight ever since. I don't know if this wide scale banning has anything to do with my ban, but I looked over all of the evidence and it pointed toward this mass banning on 5/24/11. I would like you to look over my game history and really check if I have been "idling in firefight" . I am willing to accept whatever extended credit ban you may give, even though I am innocent and have suffered enough with this 2 week credit ban and credit reset. I want t know why I have been banned, and I want feedback on this subject. I hope you take what I have said into consideration.

I WANT AN INVESTIGATION I WAS AN ECLIPSE AND GOT RESETED AND WITH ALL DUE RESPECT IF YOU WANTED TO BE FAIR TO EVERYONE YOU WOULD HAVE ADVICED THIS SOONER THAT YOU CAN'T GO AFK, BUNGIE JUST BECAUSE GAMERS OUTSMARTED YOU DOESN'T MEAN WE SHOULD GET PUNISH, ALL I KNOW IS THAT I PLAYED FIREFIGHT MATCHMAKING ALOT ALOT AND SOMETIMES I DON'T PLAY THE FULL GAME ITS TRUE BUT HEY WHO DOESN'T TAKE A BREAK WHEN A PHONE CALL,BATHROOM EMERGENCY OR FOOD CRAVING ARRIVES. MY DAD IS A LAWYER (AND A GOOD ONE) AND I EXPLAIN THE SITUATION TO HIM AND HE'S WILLING TO GO TO COURT AND SUE BUNGIE BECAUSE HE KNOW'S A CERTAIN LAW IN THE CONSTITUTION WHICH CAN AND WILL GIVE YOU GUYS HUGE TROUBLE, CAN'T SAY NO MORE BUT YOU BETTER INVESTIGATE MY ACCOUNT ONCE AGAIN AND PUT BACK EVERY SINGLE CREDIT I HAVE AND PUT MY RANK UP OR YOU'LL BE SORRY, I SWEAR TO GOD YOU WILL BE AND I'LL NEVER STOP FIGHTING TILL IT'S DONE RIGHT. YOU CAN CONTACT ME SENDING ME A MESSAGE TO MY EMAIL OR THRU THE XBOX, YOU CAN CONTACT ME OR EVEN ASK FOR MY PHONE NUMBER AND WE CAN TALK ON THE PHONE BUT PLEASE CONTACT ME[/quote]
"My dad is a lawyer."
-blam!- LOL.
I [i]guarantee[/i] there is nothing in the Constitution regarding AFKing in Halo: Reach matches.
Enjoy your reset and ban ;)

lol all these people just extending their ban times. to funny. [/quote]
It's doubtful that Jeremiah is actually extending their ban times. It was probably just an empty threat to keep the kids that obviously AFK'ed away(not really working).

And then you wonder why people prefer Black Ops over Reach.
Nice work Jeremiah, keep reseting players just because they played the way they wanted for a couple games.
Hm, I see where the population is now and why.
Hey Jeremiah, just a question: Do you think Treyarch would do this BS to their players?[/quote]
Agreed, then see they sold halo so they can run to sony and look at the ps3? It copyed xbox360 a year after its released, copyed wii, and got its network hacked.
So either way fps player are stuck at a stand still because of minor people who have power over others to make their selves feel important. Times like these you play minecraft or runescape while drinking and beer and wait for their bullcrap to rub off on them.

Investigate me and find some hard proof that I deserve a reset. I didn't even get a warning or a first time around 2 week ban.[/quote]

Check your own scores for half of those games, at least. You're seeing an entire game through with 14 kills, 25 kills, 16 kills. Really? A 15 minute game?[/quote]
Those firefight games I wait for vehicles to come down so I can get the challenges while at the sametime I try to survive to work on my perfectionist commendation. "Hard Proof" poor.
